Name the size system
Use one primary size system and nominate the target wearer. Ask for the maker’s own size chart and internal-length method.
Generic EU / US conversion is not a last specification.
BUYER FIELD NOTES
Ask better questions about fit.
Practical questions for a development conversation. Use the notes to prepare a clearer sample, validation or assortment brief.
Separate material and tooling choices
Ask which lasts and soles are available. Identify whether an upper modification, sole color change or new mold is needed.
A familiar silhouette does not establish tooling availability.
Make sample comments measurable
Record the test size, socks and activity. Separate cosmetic comments from toe, instep and heel observations; review a size set before bulk.
One good-fitting sample cannot validate every size.
Before the next conversation
How should I use the example MOQ and lead time?
Use them to explore planning questions. Actual quantities, sample charges and schedules depend on the agreed specification, tooling and capacity; request a current program quotation.
What needs to be approved before bulk production?
The last direction, material assembly, confirmation pair, graded size set and bottom tooling.
Can I explore the inquiry flow?
Yes. The demo creates a local NOT SENT summary from preset example options. It does not collect contact details or send the brief.
